      When I made this at Thanksgiving, my son was very disappointed that there wasn't any pie. He ASKED for it at Christmas, and he wants me to make it for the dessert competition at an upcoming picnic. My husband thought it was terrific, because it combined the flavors of his two favorite holiday pies!

      This is a great dish. My husband introduced it to me as Pumpkin $#!%. I said, "oh we can't call it that." So I call it Pumpkin Stuff. I've also tried Pumpkin Upside Down Pie. It is really good. My husband says the way to do the butter is to cut it into the tiniest of slices and cover the whole thing with them.

      this is a great recipe, I have made it many times with no problems. My variation calls for a spice cake mix instead of yellow cake. Also, instead of using a 2 layer mix, I prefer to use a one layer mix which I find to be more than adequate. For nuts, I recommend pecans. Bon appetite!

      Great taste, but I will add a regular pie crust on the bottom next time I make it. The pumpkin pie bottom layer didn't set on the plate very well without a crust under it.

      Sorry all, I just thought the cake mix out-did the pumpkin. I savor the taste of the pumkin in a pie, so this just did not do it for me.

      Excellent! I followed other reviewers advice and added TWICE the butter - it was fabulous. I passed this recipe on to just about everyone who tasted the results! Thanks!

      I made this for Thanksgiving, and it was a big hit. My mother asked for the recipe, and I'm making it again for Christmas. The only thing I changed is, I didn't use an entire cup of nuts. And next time I might try a little more butter for the top. Thanks for a great recipe.

      This was OK. It is very sweet. I must admit that we had over half of it left after Thanksgiving. Thanks for the recipe though.

      I absolutely love this stuff! I've made it for years but looked to see if there was a recipe here for me to review. It has a very rich taste and is so easy to put together. This is a great alternative to pumpkin pie if you would like a little change.

      What I do to make the topping so it is not still dry after baking. Fisrt I use alitle more butter then called for. Sometimes I add just about 1/4 c. of oil like olive, or your favorite oil. Then after I pour on the butter, I use the back of a spoon to kinda blend it all in, or at least level any high spots of the cake mix so all is level. Do this lightly, it works great.

      Where did I go wrong? Although the pumpkin base was delicious, there was still some dry powdery cake mix in the topping when I cut the dessert. I felt that either the cake mix was too much or the melted butter was too little.

      This was EXCELLENT! Sooo easy to make and delicious too. My friends and I made this when I was visiting them and the three of us polished it off in just a few days all on our own. Thank you so much for posting, Teresa!
